Joakim Noah is an NBA player who is known for his long curly hair. Noah's curly hair has taken him many years to grow & he usually wears it tied into a man bun or ponytail during games and wears it loose outside the court.

Pictures of Joakim Noah's long curly hair styles
Noah's hair type is curly coiled according to the famous ISEZ hair type method from The Men's Hair Book. His hair length is longer than shoulder length & he is a brunet.

Ponytail

The ponytail is a very convenient style to wear for long curls. Just tie them & ready to go!
But with curly hair, the ponytail is usually very fluffy & circular, so much different to ponytails with straight hair.

Man bun

Joakim Noah man bun is possibly one of the first man buns with curly hair - with exception of curly king Rogelio Noah likes to tie his hair in a bun for games too & he will sometimes do a ponybun which is a half bun & half ponytail. Jared Leto wore the ponybun recently at the 2014 Golden Globe awards.
Back to our curly NBA player, yeah, he loves his curly buns!

Loose long curly hair

Joakim Noah's curls are free to hang from his head when he is not playing a game. He prefers to keeps his curvy locks in a flatter & less volume styled look with a wet look effect, although he will sometimes go crazy & just let the frizz take over lol

Yes Joakim Noah had short hair & medium length hair at some point in his life but not even his mother knows. However we have pictures of a young Joakim Noah with short hair & medium length curly hair similar to the shake & go hairstyle - aka dangling afro - that Lenny Kravitz & Rogelio made popular.

How to get the look
Curly hair can be a bit of a pain to manage & grow. First you need patience & then the right hair products. For curly hair, styling creams are excellent & also mousse. A hair dryer can be used to define the volume but a diffuser must be attached to the hair dryer when blow drying the hair. Forget about wax or pomades for curly hair if you want hair like the one of Joakim Noah, you need a styling cream, a mousse, a good conditioner & a good leave-in conditioner.

wow so much hair even when Noah had short hair.
Also in the mens hair book I remember reading that curly hair of the coiled type can be like twice as long in the visible position compared to the extended position so his hair has gotta be so much longer when it is wet. Cool thing I like about curly hair is how big it can be and if you control it... damn it can give extra swagger points to a dude!
